I have some questions, I'm kinda embarrassed to ask about Ancient Egypt or Kemet
The term "Hotep".... obviously this term has taken a different meaning in modern times but how would the term have been used in Kemet.. Would it have been a greeting? or something similar to "amen" or "as salaam alaikum" ? I can't quite find a definition.
Also, the royal court.
I know I'm looking at this thru the lens of European royal courts but are there any surviving text that details the protocol for the protocol of the royal court such as manner of address, greeting, bowing/curtsing and such?
